Dune and the History of the Future

Dune and the History of the Future

The archaic, annelid-like shape of the Heighliner looming over Caladan in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune (2021) is one of a handful of moments in t

'Some of these histories are easier to trace than others. The novel is written as a history of the events within, and like all good history books it contains a glossary for the general reader. In this glossary, Herbert describes Galach, the language of the ruling Imperium, as an ‘Inglo-Slavic’ hybrid. This presumably hints at a peaceful resolution of the Cold War and a coming together of the Soviet Union and the United States, as well as the assumption that those two powers would take people to the stars. Such an idea might look, at best, strange to the eyes of the twenty-first-century reader, but it would have been difficult to imagine the eclipse of either state in the mid-1960s.' - Will Garbett

I'm going to have to agree with Stephen King on this one....

Stephen King Doesn’t Care for Marvel Movies but Says ‘Gloating’ Over ‘The Marvels’ Flopping Is ‘Very Unpleasant’: It May Be ‘Adolescent Fanb

Stephen King says it's "very unpleasant" how people are celebrating "The Marvels" flopping at the box office.

he's absolutely right you know. Whether you thought the movie was a flop or not is one thing, and you're entitled to your own opinions. But to actively revel in and celebrate 'the marvels' (specifically) flopping in theaters is a gross look into the culture surrounding marvel right now. It just reeks of sexist incels that hated the movie before it even came out, because of it's reliance and spotlight on a mostly female centric cast of characters. It reeks of the same people who use cringey phrases to describe stage 4, like the: m-she-u.

It's disgusting and hateful.

I'm not a huge fan of stage 4 either, but not because it puts a focus on the female characters, both new and old. I actually have VALID reasons for disliking aspects of this current stage. Believe it or not. And King himself isn't a fan of marvel movies, yet he is true in saying that it's not a cute look. You just look sexist and tackless, and just... So trashy.
